Having sound legal (recognition acts) and statutory (constitutions or statutes) base texts is a precondition for a strong National Society. They describe the identity of the National Society and explain its leadership model. They are key in safeguarding the integrity of the National Society and provide the foundation to ensure transparency and compliance, which are crucial elements in preventing fraud, corruption and nepotism. Promoting a strong National Society statutory and legal base remains a priority for National Societies and for the Movement as a whole, as it serves to ensure the efficiency of the National Society in the realization of its humanitarian mandates and roles, provides an element of stability and contributes to the protection of the National Society’s integrity and ability to abide by the Fundamental Principles at all times.

    The World Disasters Report provides humanitarian “ decision-makers with a unique combination of compelling analysis and original insights from the field. Its intellectual power has enriched UN debates. Jan Egeland, United Nations’ Under-Secretary-General” for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator World Disasters Report 2004 World World Disasters Report 2004 focuses on community resilience In the hours after sudden disaster strikes, most lives are saved by the courage and resourcefulness of friends and neighbours. During slow-onset crises such as drought, some rural societies have developed extraordinary capacities to cope and bounce back. How can aid organisations strengthen rather than undermine this local resilience? Perceptions of disaster differ between those at risk and those trying to help. Evidence suggests that everyday threats to livelihoods are a greater concern to most poor communities than ‘one-off’ disasters. Meanwhile, local consensus and cooperation are as important in protecting communities as concrete walls. The report argues that a more developmental approach to creating disaster resilience is needed, which puts communities in charge of defining their needs and crafting the right solutions. The World Disasters Report 2004 features: ■ From risk to resilience – helping communities cope with crisis The International Federation of ■ Heatwaves: the developed world’s hidden disaster Red Cross and Red Crescent ■ Harnessing local capacities in rural India Societies promotes the humanitarian activities of ■ Bam sends warning to reduce future earthquake risks National Societies among ■ Building community resilience to disaster in the Philippines vulnerable people. ■ AIDS: Africa’s axis of evil By coordinating international ■ disaster relief and encouraging Surviving in the slums development support it seeks ■ Disaster data: key trends and statistics to prevent and alleviate human suffering.
